DELL 470-11676 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cable 2 m Black, Silver

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve already got Dell kit that uses SAS backplanes/expansion, a genuine Dell SAS cable is one of those boring but important buys. At £48.95 ex-VAT for a 2m link, it’s not cheap, but it’s also not outrageous considering compatibility and the fact that storage connectivity failures are the kind that cause disproportionate downtime. This is the sort of cable you buy once, fit correctly, and then stop thinking about—assuming you’re matching the right end/connector style for your chassis.

I’d avoid buying this “just in case” unless you’re confident it’s the exact cable your server/backplane expects. Storage cables are where wrong parts can lead to intermittent detection, degraded performance, or just plain frustration during troubleshooting. If you’re running a Dell storage server and you know you need a 2m SAS cable, it’s a sensible, low-risk replacement. If you’re unsure of compatibility or trying to build a mixed-brand setup, it’s better to verify first—otherwise that £48.95 can turn into expensive admin time.
